Summary of the contracting process

The Government Property Agency has been leading a series of public procurement processes for the construction of a new government hub at Brunswick Street, Darlington. With a focus on construction work, the procurement processes are classified under CPV code 45000000 and 71200000 for architectural and related services. The latest stage, as of December 2025, involves a completed award for the new build and fit-out valued at approximately £85.56 million, awarded to Kier Construction Limited. This follows a Pre-construction Service Agreement completed in November 2024, with a contract period initially commencing from November 2024 for design services which included engineering and construction-related services under CPV codes 71300000 and 71500000.

These tenders present substantial opportunities for large construction firms, especially those with experience in government projects and capacity for high-value contracts like Kier Construction Limited. The selective procurement method, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement, favours entities capable of delivering detailed and large-scale government infrastructure projects. The project's placement within the Darlington Economic Campus may also foresee future collaborations or expansion opportunities related to government-led economic initiatives in the region, making it an attractive venture for businesses seeking to engage with public sector developments.
